A titanium sulfide (TiS) nanomaterial and a composite material thereof for wave absorption are disclosed. The TiS nanomaterial is in a form of dispersed micro-particles which are bulks formed by stacking two-dimensional nano-sheets. The TiS nanomaterial is a bulk formed by stacking two-dimensional nano-sheets, thereby having a laminated structure that improves the wave absorption effect. In addition, experimental results demonstrate that the TiS nanomaterial with a dose of 40 wt% has the most excellent wave absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss up to -47.4 dB, an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.9 GHz and an absorption peak frequency of 6.8 GHz, which are superior to those of existing two-dimensional bulk materials. One of reasons for the excellent wave absorption performance of the TiS nanomaterial may be because the laminated micro-morphology of TiS results in the electromagnetic wave refraction loss.

A powdered catalyst material on a titanium oxide basis. The powdered catalyst material includes a combined content of at least 90 wt.-% of a hydrated titanium oxide having the general formula TiO.sub.(2-x)(OH).sub.2x, with 0<x≤1, (calculated as TiO.sub.2), and a silicon dioxide and hydrated precursors of the silicon dioxide (calculated as SiO.sub.2). A weight ratio of TiO.sub.2/SiO.sub.2, determined for TiO.sub.2 and SiO.sub.2 respectively, is at least 3 and less than 30. The wt.-% is based on a total weight of the catalyst material after the catalyst material has been dried at 105° C. for at least 2 hours. The powdered catalyst material has a specific surface area of >300 m.sup.2/g and an isoelectric point of from 4.0 to 7.0.
